London's Mayoral candidates appeal to the gay community for votes

Ken Livingstone has called for Londoners to be united after claiming that many different communities have suffered from discrimination and that it is - in his words - the 'Muslims turn now.'

He made the comments as London's Mayoral candidates appealed to the gay community for votes at a conference hosted by Stonewall.

Toby Sadler reports.
